[0038] In one embodiment, the first installation structures 11 are located on the same circumference of the panel 1; the second installation structures 21 are located on the same circumference of the grille 2.

[0039] Preferably, a plurality of the first installation structures 11 are symmetrically arranged about the center on the panel 1, and a plurality of the second installation structures 21 are symmetrically arranged about the center on the grille 2.

[0040] Therefore, by symmetrically arranging the first installation structure and the second installation structure about the center respectively, on the one hand, the force balance of the second installation structure on the grille is ensured, and on the other hand, the installation and disassembly are facilitated.

[0041] See attached Figure 2 and 3 , preferably, the number of the first installation structures 11 and the second installation structures 21 is four respectively.

[0042] See attached Figure 5 , the second installation structure 21 is hung on the first installation structure 11.

[0043] Therefore, by hanging the second installation structure on the first installation structure, the fixation of the grille is realized.

[0048] Therefore, by the second mounting structure on the grille abutting against the first mounting structure on the panel, it can be known that the grille is in place horizontally after rotation, restricting the movement of the grille in one direction.

[0049] It should be noted that the first mounting structure 11 can also be a U-shaped structure with an open side or the first mounting structure 11 is a slotted hole structure.

[0050] Preferably, the third connecting portion 113 is perpendicularly connected to the panel 1. It should be noted that the third connecting portion 113 and the panel 1 can also be non-perpendicularly connected.

[0051] It should be noted that the second mounting structure 21 and the grille 2 can be an integral structure. They can also be not integrally formed but detachably connected, for example, they can be connected by screws or snaps.

[0052] See the attached Figure 4 , the L-shaped opening direction of the second mounting structure 21 is in the same direction along the circumferential direction of the grille 2, such that when the grille rotates by an angle, all the second mounting structures 21 are connected to the first mounting structure 11, and when rotated in the reverse direction by an angle, all the second mounting structures 21 are disengaged from the first mounting structure 11.

[0053] See the attached Figure 5 , a rib 213 is provided on the lower surface of the second connecting portion 212. The rib 213 is parallel to the first connecting portion 211, and the rib 213 contacts the other side surface of the fourth connecting portion 114.

[0054] Therefore, by providing the rib, the rotation of the second mounting structure is restricted, further fixing the grille and ensuring the safety of grille installation.
